The 44km five-station route would link Asuncion Central station with Areguá and Ypacarai utilising the alignment of the Uruguayan Railways (Fepasa) line from Asuncion to Villarica.
KRNA said in a statement on August 4 that work will begin on the study this month and is due to be completed by the end of the year.
